![]() I’ve got quite a few to recommend, depending on what you’re looking for and are prepared to carry. Plus, a solid flashlight can double as a baton-like weapon if a physical altercation can’t be avoided. One of the best ways to achieve that is by startling your attacker with bright ass lights. However you arm yourself, your first goal should always be to prevent a physical fight from happening at all. I own several, so I always have one with me no matter which purse or backpack I’m carrying. I love it so much that I included it on my list of Travel Safety Accessories as well. It’s legal to carry anywhere, including on airplanes, and is multi-functional as a pen and sometimes also a flashlight as well as a survival striking tool. Possibly my favorite item on this whole list is the tactical pen, like this one, this one, and this one from the Atomic Bear. Once again, make sure you’re legally allowed to sport this in your state before you take it out on the town. Keeping in the vein of brass knuckles, this AMOY TANG Hexagon Retro Ring can be worn all as one stack for a bold fashion statement or strung out across your four main fingers to mimic brass knuckles. If you’re into jewelry and want to decorate your fingers with some cute yet functional rings that can double as self protection, here’s a suggestion for you. Just make sure you practice quickly grabbing and using it under adrenaline-fueled scenarios, so it’s muscle memory by the time the real danger strikes. The necklace option does keep the whistle a lot closer at hand to easily grab in the split second you need it, but then not everyone loves wearing a whistle under their shirt. You can hook them to your keys/purse/etc or, if you prefer, wear them on your person all sneaky under your clothing as a necklace. And you can’t beat the price on Amazon for a 5-pack either.Īnother excellent choice for a self defense keychain is the emergency whistle like this Michael Josh Emergency Survival Whistle Kit. It’s cute, compact, and designed to fit neatly and securely in your hand for effective striking at everything from a car window to an attacker’s body. In that case, I’m also a big fan of this EIOU Self Defense Keychain, as I also recommended in my Travel Safety Accessories list. A few states, including California, Texas, Illinois, Michigan and Vermont, have made brass knuckle weapons like these illegal. Just make sure you check your state or local laws before you carry this around with you. And when not in use, it makes quite a cute accessory for your keyring. This version also comes with a built-in bottle opener and hex wrench. ![]() It’s self defense cat design provides a slot for your fingers through its eyes, while the ears turn your knuckles into lovely little spikey stabby weapons. Purchase of these keychains also comes with a free e-book training guide and self defense video series, much like our Tough Cookie Self Defense online course which offers even more in-depth training.įor an equally effective but cuter option, try this Wild Kat Keychain. They are also legal in all US states and even TSA friendly to take on an airplane. Not only are they a lovely accessory to bring style to your keyring, they are also super strong indestructible weapons designed by a self defense expert and endorsed by police, martial arts and military professionals worldwide as an effective self defense tool to have on you wherever you go. Take these beautifully designed Self Defense Kubaton Keychains by Munio. There are many good ones designed to fit neatly and securely in or on your hand for effective use without much chance of compromise. The keychain is probably the easiest and simplest self defense tool for anyone to use. With that, here are my top 10 recommended self defense weapons, ranging from novice to expert, including how to (and how not to) use them and where you can get your own without breaking your travel budget. Please take this advice with caution and self-awareness, and only carry a weapon on you that you’re fully prepared to use effectively. And then what’s the point of having them?īut if you are prepared to be smart and careful with your purchase, practice, and use of such weapons, I do have a few recommendations on where to start. If you aren’t extremely well trained in any of these weapons, they can just as easily be used against you in a fight. To be honest, I often caution others against using most self defense weapons when first learning how to protect themselves. ![]() For full information, please see our Disclaimer here.
